Black people in the U.S.A. don't control the U.S.A. and Black people , whether asian or other, is tiny or impotent in China. I leave collective or communal issues out based on the prior. So, my question is individually, where do you stand on the growth of China in humanity, humanity defined as the entire human collective?

TITLE Tituba: The Black History & Origins Of The Salem Witch Trials SUBTITLE Did you know the first woman ever accused of witchcraft in the United States was a black woman? Written by Bilal G. Morris Published on February 10, 2021 Did you know the first woman ever accused of witchcraft in the United States was a black woman? Her name was Tituba, and her American story is rarely told in history books. When she was brought to the states as a slave, little did she know her fate would forever be linked to one of the most disturbing atrocities this young country had ever seen? Little did anyone know a slave from Barbados would be the first w…

I Did Not Know That Carol Channing's Grandmother was Black!? By Allan Warren - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10973223 colour portrait Carol Channing Although her career was before my time, from rewinds, I found her to be fabulous. She passed away in 2019. I loved to watch two episodes of her and the late Betty White on a Love Boat episode. She has a unique, strong voice and she's funny. And I just read that, although she was considered a White woman all her life, in the later years, she admitted that she had recent Black ancestry! So, on this wise, I wonder would she fit the old category …

I thought he would have been in prison by now.

Oh, to be a committed turncoat ... and a loser! Despite all evidence that Republicans positively despise Black people, so many of us still lick their boots. Willingly. Eagerly. Lovingly. Fox News now has to fork of $787.5 million in a settlement in which the creepy network admits that some statements it made I in defense of Trump the Dummy were patently untrue. But anyone with a working brain already knew that.

Just a few minutes ago I added a book to the site, C Is for Country by Lil Nas X. I have not seen the physical book, but after living in Oklahoma for a year and a half and attending my first Black rodeo, I learned there is what I'll call a modern "horse culture" that I did not recall seeing in a children's books, and felt it was important to have this book added to the site. I discovered C Is for Country after learning more about the book illustrator, Theodore Taylor III. Theo is a prolific children's book illustrator whose work was inadequately reflected on this site given his contributions to Black children's literature. I was already familiar w…

And as I shared in another thread about the recent orit of THE GREEN COMET, I do not believe that scientist teach us everything that they may know about comets. That fact that meteor showers are the mostly the result of a comet that has orbited and then le…

https://apnews.com/article/chicago-mayor-election-johnson-vallas-838d2740994587d0eb0cbbfb04cd55cc Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson will succeed Lori Lightfoot in the Windy City. Mayor Johnson believes he will be able to tackle the crime problem through a holistic approach of 1) more detectives, 2) more job opportunities for young people, 3) better housing and 4) keeping guns out of the city. It would be awesome if the n8gglets in Chicago took it upon themselves to stop killing each other. Getting rid of the gangs would reduce the crime rate overnight. Eliminating drugs would clean up the rest. The reality is there i…

I remember in the year two thousand and twenty three when media in NYC emphasized hate towards asians of any phenotype + white jews. But what I found most informative was that the percentage of hate crimes towards asians was under fifteen percent while hate towards black people of any language or religion or gender was second only to white jews. And the question relates to what Olayemi states brilliantly. Where is the outrage? where is the call for crime in the white community to be checked or handled? Moreover, I want to know their faces , their names. the odd thing about crimes against Black people by non whites is how little paperwork or technology is used or av…

Black Misery Is... Believing you are woke, but realizing you are fast asleep. 😉 I was collecting information about a literary magazine, Brown Sugar, that I plan on adding to the site when I discovered this description: “Brown Sugar is a womanist literary magazine for women, womxn, and womyn of color, of any nationality, sexuality, religion, or cultural diasporas that are misrepresented and underrepresented.” I've seen womyn before but, womxn was a new one on me. My understanding of what I thought womyn meant seemed to preclude the need for womxn. Obviously I was wrong. Issues of gender, transphobia, sexism collide to…

MY COMMENT the article title is false, the article contest say this is going to happen not may. in all earnest, I wonder about the black community in louisiana, who leads them, what is their plan. I ask cause, louisiana has been this way since the louisiana purchase. I wonder what the black leadership , and that means elected officials, plan is for the future of the black community in louisiana. Does anyone know? I will be blunt now, if black elected officials, black christian church leaders, the black financial elite in louisiana have no plan but integration under the constitution, I don't think that is a functional plan for the Black people of Louisiana.

Director and actor Robert Townsend shares his affinity for “Blaxploitation” films and how it was the first time he saw Black characters in films as superheroes. [VID: Interview with actor Robert Townsend. Transcript: For one, I hate the term black exploitation because that was the very first time I got to see black folks in lead roles kicking butt and being like all the other heroes that I had grew up on from Bogart to Cagney to John Wayne. You name it. So it was a period where Fred Williamson was my hero. Pam Greer was my hero. Rudy Ray Moore, it wasn't, I hate that they always say it was exploitation. No, Hollywood made a lot of money. Hollywood made a…

Leo D. Sullivan, an Emmy-winning pioneer in animation with a career of over 50 years and work on dozens of cartoons, has died. He was 82. Sullivan died March 25 of heart failure at Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center. Throughout his career, Sullivan helped bring characters to life through his animation, storyboarding, directing and producing. His work spanned numerous television shows, including “Hey, Hey, Hey, It’s Fat Albert,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “My Little Pony” and “Flash Gordon,” along with companies like Hanna-Barbera, Warner Brothers and Spunbuggy Works. Sullivan contributed to the opening animation on “Soul Train” which premiered in 1971…

So according to reports, Trump is supposed to be "arrested" and arraigned Tuesday. My question is, if he's planning on making some sort of speech Tuesday night he either: 1. Doesn't truly believe he'll be arrested or 2. Believes he'll be arrested but for some reason immediately released; which means his arrest was just a formality. I wonder is this the typical treatment of the "average" citizen who is formally charged with the same counts he's been charged with?

MY COMMENT but i ask you, what should the state of white priviledge be ? Why wouldn't a majority of whites in a state, not demand advantages in their favor when that was and is the status quo or what their forebears made the usa for? IN AMENDMENT One of the problems I have with so many in the USA is they don't seem to comprehend that many others in the USA don't share their view and no true majority exists. Yes, some try to talk about the legal code. But the legal code of the usa was created by people whose actions most cancellers in the USA today will consider worthy of being cancelled. In the black community in the USA the variance between blacks…

MY COMMENT I read the article. Franlin leonard said:"when you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression" but he chose the wrong phrase. He talks about feelings but the issue is desires. The equation is simple. Fiscal capitalism in the USA doesn't work on merit or knowledge or erudition or wisdom. It works on inheritance + opportunity. Whites are accustomed to a greater inheritance + opportunity than any other. That is why their forebears killed the native american for this land and enslaved blacks, no matter where we came from, to till it. This was to provide their future generations greater inheritance + opportunity. But whites comprehend what e…

I know that this is a divisive issue in the African-American community and some might disagree with me. This post addresses colorism mostly in the dating arena. When the issue of colorism is addressed in dating, it usually centers around dark-skinned black men with light skinned black women. It has never been a secret in the black community that many dark-skinned black men, especially when they obtain money and status, prefer lighter skinned women. This is certainly nothing new. It has been going on for many, many years or decades. Celebrities of ye…

Whatever happened to RODNEY CAMPBELL? He exploded on the scene and bedazzled us with his command of numbers and theories about time and truth, and glimpses into his unusual childhood. Then - he just vanished. He was my oasis. Oh, well. Guess he had better things to do. Good for him.

Has the community collectively given up on tackling this issue? I tend to see it affect more black women than men, but both have struggles with it.

Hey, I have a question for the ladies of the site....... Do any of you find grey or a completely white beard or hair on a man attractive or unattractive? I'm talking the grey or white hair alone, I'm not talking about other features that come with aging like wrinkles, sagging muscles, big bellies, or other characteristics......I'm talking strictly hair. Assuming all factors remain the same, if a man has a full head of white hair or fully white beard...would you find him just as attractive as if it were fully black? I'm interested in hearing from women of various ages BTW.....not just those in our age group. If there are any women in their 20s who are…

A 75-year-old Lyft driver was forced to fight for his life when a customer suddenly plunged a knife into his neck during a ride in suburban Detroit, according to news outlets and Michigan police. The driver, James Evans, is a Navy veteran who has worked as a rideshare driver for seven years, giving more than 22,000 rides, he told TV station WJBK "I said 'Is this all right sir? 'And I turned, and he started stabbing me in the neck," Evans said. "He hit me four times in the neck, but only one was really bad. And then he cut my arm, my thumb, and then my hand," Evans said. Police tracked down Mitchell and arrested him the next day. He is …

I've been told multiple times that I sound like a white girl( because of a "girly voice") or that I sound educated. I don't really take it as an insult because it's not always meant that way but sometimes it is. I find it troubling that black people think a black woman with a feminine voice sounds white...??? Like??? Or that I sound educated because I sound white to them??? Hmm??? I didn't grow up around white people nor am I college educated, so this how I know people are unapologetically biased against their own. 🙂

An Afro German Boy-Survivor of Nazi Germany This showed up on my channel. And I never heard of this kind of history in such detail. Wow! This video speaks about a minority of Afro- Germans living in Germany before the Nazi movement and of course, they ended up getting sidelined and becoming victims of this movement. They lived in Rhineland and were victims along with the Romany (Gypsy) people too. Some of these AfroGermans were offspring of Black Frenchmen in the military and White German mothers who became a part of the society before the movement. The mothers were soon oppressed and encouraged to divorce their husbands. This one young boy was the son of a Black Am…

American Exile Trailer https://www.kpbs.org/news/2021/11/12/voces-on-pbs-american-exile Nixon https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/movement-and-madman/#part01 My thoughts The tragedy of the war veterans being deported is how many people living outside the USA see the USA as this escape from being where they are, that they support joining the military of the USA, risking potentially all. The biggest problem with documentarian work is the delay. When I think of a number of the documentaries concerning Vietnam most recently I saw, they remind me how the truth has to wait in the USA, and that waiting period has value. Again,…

BLACK MEN SELLOUTS—Katt Williams Katt Williams Reveals How Hollywood Elites Control Black Celebs I absolutely do NOT believe everything that Katt is saying, but I do believe in some of his statements. I never heard of him though, until I saw Ice Cube's film, First Sunday, and think that Katt is very funny and perhaps should be right up there with the other big time comedians. So on this score, this video makes some sense to me. He spoke about Kevin Hart and Dave Chapelle's experiences and etc. very interesting. Katt Williams - Shorts - "Get you some white friends".

Idk. I just wanted to share my thoughts on this. When it comes to compatibility I find earth signs and water signs do well together and fire and wind signs do well together. I know there are more complexities to it based on the behavior of each specific sign, and I know there are exceptions, too. But typically, this is how I've seen it: Earth gives water a place to release and settle, while water gives earth life and reason to be still. Air gives fire expansion to gain more ground and fire gives air something to fan out and inspire. On the flip side: Earth and fire don't work well because …

Black people hate Black Christians more than they hate white racists. 😭 What did we do to Y'ALL😤 All the time I hear the put downs.
